Hello all. My first post. Admins, my apologies if its in the wrong section.

I'm the proud owner of two My books. I spent the best part of four hours installing Twonky the first time around and three the second. So as to not have the same problems again when I buy another I wrote myself a quick help guide and thought I'd share it with any other linux novices like myself.

Now please bare in mind I really am a Linux novice. The below works on firmware 02.00.15 and 01.01.18. I'm not skilled enough to scrap the lot and start again just to 100% guarentee it works however like I say, it works for me so there's no reason it shouldn't work for anyone else. There are probably much easier ways to do this for those who know linux commands but like me I'm sure there are loads of windows buff who scratched there heads.

I started moving down your directions and now being stuck with this step "using the root account create a directory called TwonkyVision in usr/local/".
1) If I log in with the TWONKY account I get access but am not allowed to create a new folder …
2) If I log in with the admin account of the WD my standard pwd is not recognized …

Any hints from your side ??? Sorry for bothering but the whole thing for a non techie is a not so easy feat .. ;-)

it is wired why do you want us to use putty when we just can click the little black buttom with the letters HOM in Winscp, and then get a terminal.
It is 10 times more easy. But still thanks for the tutorial, and sorry my english.
And last why do we have to create the twonky account?
